abstract:The Melut Basin is a rift basin in South Sudan. It is situated in the states of Upper Nile and Jonglei, south of the capital Khartoum and east of the river Nile.
In August 2005, Sudan is expected to begin exporting oil from the MelutBasin as a result of cooperative work with Petrodar, a consortium of companies dominated by China's state-run Sinopec.
